sumption by the masses-by considering
the greatest good OF the greatest number.
This is the pledge of the Democratic party
to the country, and it is the pledge that
the Democratic majority in tho House
must redeem without delay. To do this
every Democratic vote in the House will
be necessary. But there are members OF
that House, calling themselves Democrats,
who regard their individual pledges as
above. those OF party, and who will not
vote for tariff reform; they will vote with
the Republicans in opposition to it. What,
then, is to be done2 Is the party TO be
sunk under individual within or preference
or purpose? Or is the voice Of the major
ity to prevail as power TO coerce the
rccusant members and compel them TO
acquicsce, TO yield to the majority or
take the consequences, and unite
with the enemy whom they have
hitherto aided and abctted whenever
voice and vote could riyet the chains
and weights OF the robber tariff on
the masses Of the people. The Demo.
cratic party cannot afford TO yield to n
minority coming for the most part from
the Republican Statcs-it cannot afford to
yield TO minority at all. Whenever it
establishes that precedent, the days Of It's
decease will not be far away. But what
is to be done? Why, Democratic caucus,
guided by tho Chicago platform, should
declare for dchniiive legislation as to the
tariff, and enforce It's DEGREES upon every
Democrat in the House or Senate. And
it should determine for the party the
measures Of discipline for those whose
cgotisin may lead them TO vote with the
Republicans. We must have tarig reform
or defeat II the latter, we must know al
whose hands il il to be suffered.

MURDER0USLY JEALOUS.
ATTEMPTED AND PROBABLY Sue
CESSFUL KILLING YESTERDAY.
A Colored Woman, Cured of Her IN
holy Infatuation, Refuses the En-
braces of Her Lover and Has Her
Throat Cut in Dangerous Manner.

But for the bravery and faithiulness 10
law OF two colored men, a black-hearted
and black-skinned wretch would probably
have escaped the arms OF justice yesterday
afternoon. Shortly after o'clock John
West, Frank Leake, and several otherpeo-
pie in the vicinity OF the Mississippi &
Tennessee depot, saw George Jones, alias
Alexander walk up TO a colored woman,
shove her head back, and make q des-
perate slash at her throat with barlow
knife. As soon as the deed had been per-
petrated, Jones fed as rapidly as his legs
would carry him, in southerly direction.
West and Leake' gave chase, out streets,
alleys and around corners, alarming every
one in the neighborhoOd by their cries OF
"Stop that mani He's murdered
woman!" After a half nile or more OF
space had been trayersed by pursued and
pursuers, the fugitive was oycrhauled and
brought back to the scene OF his crime. A
half hour or more elapsed before the ar
rival OF q policeman, who took charge OF
the would be and probably successful muir
derer, and escorted him to the Adams
street station.
When the woman, whose name is Hat
tie Robertson, felt the dull and rusty knife
penetrate the right side OF her throat, she
screamed and fled, and, up to late hour
in the afternoon, her whereabouts had not
been ascertaincd. The wound was about
two inches long, supposed TO be very deep,
and from it the blood gushed in perfect
| stream.
West and Leake were seen nj the sta
| tion-h0usc by an ArrEAL reporter, shortly
after their arrival with the police officer
and his prisoner. Their story OF the affair
places Jones on the list us brutal and
| jealous licnd, whose mind has long been
committed to the idea OF murder, on nc
| count OF unrequitcd affection from the
woman. The two have been employed ON
plantation ut Blue Point, Ark, and
! formed an uuholy alliance some six
months ago. Two weeks ago, while pick
! ing cotton, Jones deliberately knocked her
down, for some trivial oilcnsc, in the pres
ence Of a number OF witnesses. There
being no law officers in the vicinity, the
other employees espOuscd the cause OF the
woman, and took upon themselves the task
| Of protecting her from further assaults.
! The woman, unlike the majority OF her
sex, formed a horrible aversion TO her
lover, on account OF his brutality, and
! aided her protectors in every way TO
brighten him OIL the premises. Jones hung
around the place for several days, with
murder in his eve ana every action.
! Finally the woman left and came 10 Mem-
phis. but was followed by the desperate
man. Their first meeting occurred yc,icr-
day afternoon, at the Mississippi & Tonnes
see depot, when Jones renewed his en-
| treaties for her to return with him 10 Ar
kansas. She persistently refused, and the
cutting followed.
